In addition to our social workers, we also have trained breast and prostate cancer survivors who serve as peer navigators (cancer coaches) to newly diagnosed breast and prostate cancer patients. Our WeCARE! Peer Navigators provide information, resources, share problem-solving and coping strategies and help patients prepare for doctor’s visits and treatments.

Cancer caregivers — family members caring for someone with cancer — can also participate in our WeCARE! Cancer Caregiver Telephone Support Group, which offers resources and assistance through toll-free conference calls.
